Re: Details on BackdateSessionInfo - App Tracking - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hey @ericb17371700 - Sorry for confusion caused by the old documentation. It used to be true that backdating session info hits could cause an extra visit (if more time than your Analytics visit timeout had passed since the user re-launched the app), but this behavior has been fixed on the backend so that backdated session info hits will no longer trigger a new visit.> The very first assumption is, that the Crash and the SessionInfo hit will arrive inside Adobe as standard "s.tl" - "trackAction" ...

Re: Tracking iOS Permission Request Alerts - Adobe Experience Platform SDKs

Hey @det2020 -Most of the time a user's selection on OS prompts like requesting for permission will result in a call to a delegate method that the developer controls. In the case of location permission, the CLLocationManagerDelegate will be notified via the locationManagerDidChangeAuthorization: method.In a delegate method like that, you can invoke any AEP Mobile SDK method you'd like.Hope this helps!-steveb

Re: AEP Mobile SDK support Cordova? - Adobe Experience Platform SDKs

Hey John, Sorry about the confusion, looks like we haven't updated the documentation at the second link you provided. We will make sure to get that updated! The AEP SDK does support Cordova.

Re: App Users number higher that upgrades + first launches - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hey @jorisdebeer,Great question! Hopefully I can clear things up by providing a little insight on when First Launches and Upgrades are reported.First Launches - this event is only sent in the first time a user launches your app. Think of a first launch as a net-new user.Upgrades - this event is only sent in the first time a user launches your app, and the previous launch of your app was a different version.These are both event-type variables, meaning they get counted only when they're sent in.

Re: Upgrading mobile app analytics from sdk4 to sdk5 - Adobe Experience Platform SDKs

Hey rupaljain2408 - Assuming you're using the same Analytics configuration (report suites and data collection server) for both your v4 and AEP SDK implementation, this shouldn't be a problem for you. Hope this helps.steve benedicksr mobile software engineerAdobe Experience Cloud

Re: Adobe Launch SDK creation steps followed - no traffic in RS - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hey Stephen,Glad to hear you've got things running!Regarding product string, the suggested implementation is outside of context data. There is a special combination of characters that you can use in your context data key to indicate you want a value to go directly in the hit instead of being a part of context data, outlined more for you here: Product variable - Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDKsHope this helps.-steveb

Re: Adobe Launch SDK creation steps followed - no traffic in RS - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Yeah, sounds like you're familiar with the v4 SDK where all lifecycle traffic was handled automatically in iOS . In the new SDK, it's now a manual process, which provides more flexibility for our customers. Read here for more info on lifecycle: Initialize the SDK and set up tracking - Adobe Experience Platform Mobile SDKs Hope this helps.-steveb

Re: Mobile Marketing Link Properties - Adobe Analytics

Hey James,Thanks for the feedback on how we can improve our docs. Hopefully we can make some improvements there to make this less confusing.From a high level, you can think about the data collected from your marketing links in two categories: acquisition, and re-engagement (deeplinks). If your link is for acquisition purposes, the data will be stored in an non-expiring eVar. If your link is for re-engagement purposes, the data will be stored in a eVar that is only valid per visit. In either case...

Re: Separate the management of different mobile apps in Adobe Mobile Services - Adobe Analytics

Hey Jay,I believe you will need two separate login companies to accomplish what you're after. You can delegate your apps into each login company, and have the group of admin users be different for each company. I'd recommend contacting your Analytics consultant to see if they can help you get your configuration set up properly. Hope this helps.steve benedicksr mobile software engineerAdobe Marketing Cloud

Re: Mobile App tracking: less launches than unique visitors - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

"Launches" is measured client-side. A launch event will only occur if the user actually opens your app (bringing it to the foreground)."Visits" is measured server-side (based on an activity timeout). By default, a new visit will be reported when a hit comes in from a user and that user has not sent in a hit within the past 30 minutes.The most common cause of having more UVs than launches is when a mobile app is doing tracking from the background. In this case, a new visit can be created without ...

Re: Mobile - Send Data to Multiple Report Suites - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hey Jeff,As mentioned earlier in this thread, there is a way to send data to multiple report suites with a single request. However, there is no API in the mobile SDK to dynamically add and/or remove report suites at runtime, which means that all of the report suites you list in the ADBMobileConfig.json file will get data for every request. You can achieve what you want by implementing Vista rules. With Vista rules, you can decide which report suites should process each request based on the conte...

Re: unique visitor ID in mobile app - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

In an earlier post in this thread (that post appears to have been deleted?), it was stated that the Visitor ID was partially generated using information specific to the device. I simply wanted to clarify that device information is not a part of the process used to generate a Visitor ID. -steveb

Re: unique visitor ID in mobile app - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

@Adrian, @Tanmay - It is accurate that a delete and reinstall of the app will cause a new visitor to be generated. I need to clarify that while clearing app cache will not cause a new Visitor ID to be created, clearing app data will result in a new Visitor ID being created. Also worth noting that the SDK uses no information about the device when generating the Visitor ID.Sorry for the confusion. Hope this helps. steve benedicksr mobile software engineerAdobe Marketing Cloud

Re: Data Not coming in Mobile App Suites - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hey Anudeep,At its core, Bloodhound is just a proxy server. If the IP address of Bloodhound is used as your endpoint for your request (192.168.0.100:50000 in your ADBMobileConfig.json attached), the concept of forwarding is lost - there is nowhere for Bloodhound to "forward" the hit to.Instead, you should use your Analytics tracking server in the config file (as mentioned by JillsMatthew above). You should then modify the network settings on your test device to proxy via Bloodhound. You can do t...

Re: Mobile App Analytics - Error on Port - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hey Anudeep Srivastav ,It looks like your device/emulator isn't able to communicate with your Bloodhound instance.

Re: WINU-4.0.0 SDK always firing CrashEvent - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hey there, The CrashEvent is set on launch when the Adobe SDK is not aware that the app exited/closed correctly in its previous run. In Windows, you have to tell the Adobe SDK when the app is suspended or closed. Please verify you have correctly implemented lifecycle by referencing the section called "Lifecycle Metrics" on this page: https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/mobile/uwp/analytics.html Hope this helps. -steveb

Re: Universal Omniture SDK for windows - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hello,This exception is most commonly caused by our library when the Windows C++ Runtime Library can't be found.

Re: Mobile App Lifecycle Reports - Adobe Analytics

Greetings, In Adobe Analytics, by default, enabling Mobile App Lifecycle Reports will automatically update your navigation menu. However, if you are using a custom menu, it is likely you will need to go add the reports you're interested in to your white list of reports. As mentioned by Alexis, Adobe Mobile Services is a nice way to get at all your mobile data. I would recommend checking it out. steve benedickmobile software engineerAdobe Marketing Cloud

Re: Crashes report in iOS life cycle metrics - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

Hey Mike, Sending hits when the app enters the background (or while the app is in the background) can cause issues in your lifecycle data. If you are sending hits via the SDK from the background, make sure you're using the trackActionFromBackground:data: message. Using this will suppress new lifecycle sessions from being created by your app's activity while it's in the background.If this doesn't help, I recommend contacting Client Care so we can get a ticket open for you. steve benedickmobile so...

Re: Crashes report in iOS life cycle metrics - Adobe Experience Cloud Mobile

First I'll tackle how we track crashing. As the documentation states, when the app doesn't "exit gracefully", we send a crash on the next launch. By exiting gracefully, all we mean is entering the backgrounded state (receiving the applicationDidEnterBackground notification from the OS) prior to the app closing. Any time the user pushes the home button on their iOS device, the current app will be backgrounded (this includes pressing the button twice to pull up the app switcher for multitasking pu...
